Edltors hihi opinions.
The Question of how far the edito
rials in a newspaper reflect the person
al, individual views or the editor, and
how far they are to he taken as an im
?irtial exposition or concrete facts
;nd principles, Is up for discussion.
id although the matter can never he
i 't nitely settled, occasional consider
ation of It is not unprofitable.
In this world of many men and many
/rinds, it would he tlie height of pre
B imption, cheek and gall, for any man
7? try to hold out the idea that he
Alone is infallible and that he alone is
ipable of conceiving correct views
upon tiny question, no matter what;
at the man who is unable to appre
ciate that whether he is capable of
discovering it or not. there is a right
und wrong to everything, is little bot
ler than a moral and Intellectual Im
becile.
There arc editors, so-called editors,
who have no views except their desires
ad whose views are applied to every
ntestion on the same principle thai an
nfnnt turns to its mother's breast, or
!? ticks a piece of candy. These editors
. iclare a certain way and argue a cer
tain way, because they want things
; ii.t way. And in all cases their views
.re certainly the individual views of
16 editors.
By way of illustration, we will re
marh that while there are as many
kinds of lawyers as there are Individ
.als in the profession, they are divided
into two general classes. One class
'.in see but one side of any question,
?he side it is on. and the other class
looks at both sides. One class looks
inly to temporary victory in the par
ticular case upon which It may be en
gaged. The other recognizes that in
?11 things right is the final arbitur.
and Is nlways careful about trampling
right under foot. Those who belong to
:.ie first class, may win the plaudits of
ft day or a week, those who belong to
the other class build for life and leave
rood reputations behind them.
The newspaper editor who fents the
?picstlons of the day on a basis of tem
porary expediency may very well be
?aken as expressing his individual In
clinations, and it Is only n matter of
ilme, and often a very short time at
-lint, until ho is sized up at his full
value. The newspaper editor who uti
lertakes to view facts and conditions
.in a basis of their real relation to
fundamental truth, may not always be
correct; but he will always command
the respect of those who admire frank
honesty, and who may he abb' to see
that he stands for that quality.
Editors who write merely for the
purpose of impressing their individual
opinion, have very little business in
dicting those opinions on the public.
Editors who write to teach and im
press the truth with the hope of mak
ing men better and wiser, very often
do a great deal of lasting good.?
